Why don't I get email notifications of new posts?

[Dave Rado]

At the top of the threads that I've started, there's a button that says "Unwatch", which I presume means I'm watching the threads - but I haven't had any email notifications when people have replied in my threads. How can I fix this?

Click on your username in the site header bar and select Preferences from the menu that appears and you should find tick boxes to receive e-mail notifications listed under Content Options.

I hope that makes sense.

Unwatch the thread involved, then watch it again. Choosing to receive e-mail alerts this time.

Depending on which thread you are watching, you could get a lot of emails!

This! I was getting loads when I first signed up, realised that didn't have to be the case and turned the feature off. Still get the odd one coming through, but forum software can go a bit wrong sometimes.
